Quotes

• “Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science.”
• “Science is the one human activity that is truly progressive.”
• “Eventually, we reach the utmost limits of our telescopes. There, we measure shadows and search among ghostly errors of measurement for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial.”
• “The history of astronomy is a history of receding horizons.”
• “...there must be no favored location in the universe, no center, no boundary; all must see the universe alike. And, in order to ensure this situation, the cosmologist postulates spatial isotropy and spatial homogeneity.”
• “The whole thing is so much bigger than I am, and I can't understand it, so I just trust myself to it; and forget about it.”
